Gamers Without Borders with $2 million charity CS:GO tournament

Gamers Without Borders has announced the next tournament of its $10 million esports initiative, featuring six of the world's best Counter-Strike teams.

Described as the "gaming world's biggest battle yet", Gamers Without Borders is a series of esports tournaments put together by the Saudi Arabian Federation for Electronic and Intellectual Sports (SAFEIS) aimed at uniting gamers in the fight against Covid-19 by raising awareness about the work that international charities are doing amidst the ongoing pandemic.

Scheduled for May 29-31, the CS:GO tournament will feature six teams from the European and CIS regions, four of which currently inside the top five in the world rankings.

The teams participating in this three-day tournament, which will be produced by ESL, will donate their portion of the $2 million prize money to "one of many international charities fighting on the front-line against the spread of coronavirus", according to Gamers Without Borders.

Below you can find the list of participants for the CS:GO competition:

CS:GO is the fifth esports title to be featured in the Gamers Without Borders initiative, after PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege, Dota 2 and Fortnite. The sixth and last charity event will run from June 5-7, with the name of the game expected to be revealed soon.

yeah ik but event TL on LAN in early 2020 was pretty bad. From what i remember 2-0 by faze twice, 2-0 by g2, 2-0 by Navi. Only teams they beat on LAN were like VP, EG, and NIP. Also trash MIBR lololol.

For charity..

If u look at the top 15 on hltv and lets pretend OG play like they played in EPL, i believe their last big tourney was?!, I think they belong to the top 10....pretty much all the NA teams but furia play really bad and inconsistent rn, mouz, navi and fnatic kinda emberassed themselves, dunno if ML is really better than them....so good team for the tourney imo...no astralis so everyone can wim, i think we will get some exciting games

Astralis disgusting didn't accept to donate their winnings

Yeah fck round robin (because it was 4 teams, with 6 teams aka 5 opponents to play against, and especially with 8 teams aka 7 opponents to play against) that allowed G2 to go through as top seed after Heroic's throw and Astralis fail.
G2 is the new NaVi, trash but lucky

Astralis topped the most important event so far while Na'Vi completely crashed out to tier4 teams.
None of the top10 teams are consistent, yet Astralis has been a lot more consistent than the rest before gla1ve took a prolonged sick leave. Even fnatic had been performing better than Na'Vi in general before the minor.
If you disregard anything that isn't LAN events, then maybe you should stay quiet for a few months.

Would have, chould have, sould have. Na'Vi might have surprised them on their first proper encounter with the new IGL, but they aren't exactly known for making the same mistake twice or not reading into their opponents gameplan.
I severely doubt Na'Vi could have even come remotely close to doing the same thing twice, especially considering how incredibly dreadful they've been online.
The only team that has been able to repeatedly challenge Astralis, even when Astralis have had a gameplan, have been fnatic.

I was scratching my head when I read that as well. I doubt there's any need to raise awareness since it's basically what the entire world is thinking and speaking about atm. lol
But I took a visit to their website, and it seems like the organizations they support are decent
One of them is "Norwegian Refugee Council" which I'm sure the edgelords on HLTV.org would support.

Only FaZe and g2 are half decent teams
Mouz will go out last
OG will probably beat Mouz, but nothing more that that
Navi tier4, loses to tier10 semi-pro CIS teams
Fnatic lost to movistar riders and co. 5+ times
